# CPI(M) demands daily water supply for Arilova colonies 2026-08-08T22:41:47+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Communist Party of India (Marxist) workers and residents of Arilova in Visakhapatnam protested on Friday, demanding that the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) supply drinking water daily to their colonies. Holding empty pots, they blocked traffic briefly outside the assistant engineer's office in Balajinagar. CPI(M) leader B. Gangarao said residents in several colonies face severe hardship from irregular supply. The party urged GVMC to divert water from the TSR Complex pipeline to wards 11, 12, and 13, replace defunct borewells, act against illegal borewells, and curb private water sales. They also demanded alternative arrangements to increase storage at Mudasarlova Reservoir. CPI(M) warned of intensifying the agitation if the issue is not resolved. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Arilova, CPI(M), GVMC, protest, Visakhapatnam, water supply Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cpim-demands-daily-water-supply-for-arilova-colonies/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
